Ghazals....the fading art!

Ghazals...is my favorite form of music.I grew up listening ghazals as my mom and dad are big fan of ghazals,at that time I found it quite boring but as i grew up and started to understand the words it drew me far way from our bollywood or international songs.The fluidity in emotions and the depth of poetry can only be seen and justified in the Ghazals there is no other best way to describe your emotions.Bollywood once was ghazals based...but sadly now we have only munnis and sheilas to entertain us which is a total yuck!!!


Some people think that Ghazals are sad but it isn't...you have numbers of romantic one too ..which is far more ahead then our bollywood romance....even the feeling of longing and desire is well showed off only and only  in Ghazals...

The legendary singers like Jagjit singh,Talat aziz,Penaz Masani,Chitra singh,Runa laila.....and many more need more recognition in our new generation...I might sound boring but I really dont care about it...Ghazals will always be my first preference when it comes to music...

Just look at the words....the romantic one...

ye naram mulaayam thanDi hawaayeN, jab ghar se tumhaare guzre

tumhari khushboo churaayeN, mere

 ghar le aayen, kabhi yooN bhi to ho

 sooni har mehfil ho, koi na mere saath ho

aur tum aaO, kabhi yooN bhi to ho

 ye baadal aise TooT ke barse, mere dil ki tarah milne ko,

 tumhara dil bhi tarse, tum niklo ghar 

se, kabhi yooN bhi to ho

tanhaai ho dil do, boonde hoN barsaat ho aur tum aaO.

and even the sad ones.....

maiN bhool jaaoon tumhe, ab yahi munaasib hai
magar bhoolna bhi chaahoon to kis tarah bhoolooN
ke tum to fir bhi haqikat ho koi khwaab nahiN
yahan to dil ka ye aalam hai kyaa kahoon 
'kambakht'
bhula saka na ye wo silsila jo thaa hi nahiN
wo ik khyaal jo awaaz tak gaya hi nahin
 wo ek baat jo maiN keh nahiN saka tumse
wo ek rawt jo hum meiN kabhi raha hi nahiN
muJhe hai yaad wo sab jo kabhi huwa hi nahiN
 agar ye haal hai dil ka to koi samjhaaye
tumhe bhulaana bhi chaahoon to kis tarah bhoolooN
ke tum to fir bhi hakikat ho koi khwaab nahiN

And there are many many such good ones.....I really wish Ghazals once

again make an impact on music....its a pure rich form of art...

which is sadly fading away....

What a waste of time....

I recently finished reading a romantic novel....(though nothing at all was romantic in it),and ended up with loads of disappointment.I expected much from this piece of story,as the author of the book is none other then NICHOLAS SPARK....

The story started of really well making me enthusiastic for what will happen next but as the story started taking off,it became quite obvious to know what is it all about.I also found the writing too slow and quite boring.I have no other words to say but I will never suggest anybody to read this romantic novel (I still dont know why its romance novel...!!!)...ITS A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME....

welcome 2011..

So here we are towards the end of this year 2010......and must say it went  like a bullet train,extremely superfast,
leaving behind all the good and bad memories,in my own word I say a new book with a new chapters will be opened within few hours,so how was my book 2010???

Well it was not that bad,it have thought me many lessons,many thoughts and many many things which I should have done much before,I have learnt to express,and to whom to express,I have learnt to laugh at the situation where in I have shaded so many tears.....and most importantly have learnt about people who backstab you and you dont even realise...Now when I think of those moments,I laugh at them,and sometime cry too....I lost people who were close to me.....have hurt someone who was and is special to me....tried harder for winning my love....felt like slapping and  also killing some....thought of having magic power to bring back all that I have lost...and tried to accept loosing something which I never had....and most importantly it has given some so so so good memories which i will never ever forget in my entire life...

So here were some short listed chapters,which have thought me lessons after taking my live test......but before this year end...let me tell I loved the entire journey of 2010....I hope and also have faith that the year 2011,will bring loads of love,happiness,friendship............and something great which I never expected but hope for.......

My favourite....

I just love this gazal.....it really really touches my heart whenever I listen to it.....

Ranjish hi sahi dil hi dukhane ke liye aa
Aa fir se mujhe chhod ke jaane ke liye aa

Pahle se marasim naa sahi fir bhi kabhi to
Rasmo rahe duniya hi nibhane ke liye aa

Kis kis ko batayenge judai ka sabab hum
Tu mujhse khafa hai to zamane ke liye aa

Kuch to mere pindar-e-mohabbat ka bharam rakh
Tu bhi to kabhi mujhko manane ke liye aa

Ik umr se hoon lazate giriya se bhi mehroom
Aye raahate jaan mujhko rulane ke liye aa

I BELIEVE..:)

LIFE...it all about,love,joy,sorrow,pain,heartbreaks,laughter...etc etc.I just love my life...though its not perfect at alll...I always keep reminding myself that this is it,this is the only one life you have got and you have to make it to the fullest,which usually makes me fall in trouble..lol....but thts life is'nt it?? whats the use of it if we don't do whatever we want to...I have fallen in love...confessed it..had my heart broken,seen some of my friends turning into enemies...,have become close to people who were once just faces in the crowd...,have loved to the fullest,seen my close friends crying and stood beside them helplessly...,and worst of all have seen love...love someone else...but as i said thats life...each day is a lesson filled with negative and positive vibes...every incident have moulded me into a new soul,sadness had made me yell WHY ME??...happiness have brought tears in my eyes., I have faced the unexpected...and have missed some expected things,but yet these things never stops me and they never will

I still chase my dreams,pray wholeheartedly,trust my friends,expect the unexpected to happen and most importantly I BELIEVE........

atithi devo bhava....

ATITHI DEVO BHAVA....guest is god  ,well we must have learnt this from childhood and ya i do believe in following it...BUT...it seems my dad has taken these words too seriously.....resulting number of guests visiting our residence.The problem doesn't start here,its the surprise of  varieties we get is really irritating (as we hardly know who comes as they are related to dad's business) ...but some experiences are worth describing too..
Here is one of them....recently my dad's friend visited our residence..well he was invited by my dad just few hrs ago from his arrival...it all happened this way..the friend called my dad to inquire about  the address of a wedding venue,near by our residence,which he was going to attend with his entire family...so with seriousness of the words ATITHI DEVO BHAVA.....my dad invited them so that they can have dinner with us..WTF...will the dinner not be served at the wedding.????...but uh my dad...he forced them to come along...poor mom had to cook the lavish dinner...with fish as the friends family loved eating fish...who would'nt if its served FREE!!...the food was cooked and but we could'nt eat...well how can we go ahead without the GUESTS..so what if the rats along with other animals started dancing inside our tummy...At around 1:00am yes 1:00am the guests arrived...who politely said that they cant have food as they  had already eaten their  dinner at the wedding...keeping respect for my dad's invitation they even arrived....OH GOD...so they only drank the cold drinks and moved..HUSH THANK GOD ITS OVER....!!!!...so the lavish fish was saved for us...and we ate dinner at around 1:45am...the time where even the rats in our tummy along with  his friends had gone to sleep....zzzZZZzzz
Its good to be good...but sometimes being too good takes you nowhere...my dad really needs to know this...
I hope he understands this atleast once in his lifetime....

The kite runner.

The kite runner....by Khaled Hosseini.As,a true lover of gulf stories(i still don't know why??),I always wanted this particular book on my shelf.Though I didn't get the opportunity to read it,I ended up watching its movie.And WoW,what a masterpiece it was.Marc Foster the director,has done an awesome job,I always preferred reading book before watching its movie,but my experiment to watch this flick first was not a waste.
Now coming to the movie,the story unfolds about friendship.loyalty,fear and relationships.Friendship between master and servant.loyalty between servant and master,fear of facing the truth and relation between parent and child.The story revolves around the very much happy Afghanistan,its culture and tradition,before the Russians entered into the picture.How people had to fled away from their very own country.And then journey of bleeding Afghanistan had no end from Russians to now Talibans.

I would really like everyone to watch this movie,and enjoy it to the fullest.
